I've not had the surgery, my friend did last fall. I'm here on her recommendation for the motivation and encouragement to loose my last 15 pounds. My goal was to lose 50. Hope I can stay in this group, even if I'm a tai chi fan myself. Starting wt. 159.2...goal is 145. Friendly..Christian..Quiet type Sent from my SM-G965U1 using BariatricPal mobile app
